A3 Early Alert for Student Success and Retention
A3 EARLY ALERT FOR STUDENT SUCCESS AND RETENTION
The A3 Early Alert was created to provide follow-up for students identified by faculty as having
academic difficulties or other problems that may impact the student’s success. The main objective
of this alert is to create a collegewide proactive approach to assist students with issues early in the
semester to increase the chance of success and retention.
The TOP 4 Things to Do Effectively in A3 Early Alert as FACULTY:
Faculty :
Log into their PORTAL, on the left hand side under LAUNCHPAD, please choose Assist, Advise,
Alert (A3), once you click on it your A3 should come up automatically, you may have to restart your
computer to begin the process from the beginning if it does not work.
When to RAISE an alert or not?
Non-Attendance alert : The first two weeks of the semester for students who do not attend or
log on and/or complete any assignments at all during the first two weeks of the semester or
miss 50% or more of course time (tardiness, leave early, etc.) during the first two weeks of the
semester. ( Student will receive communication email on this alert )
*It is very important that you still report nonattendance in BannerWeb for third week reporting
purposes .
Academic Performance alert : The third week and thereafter for students who are not currently
passing the course for whatever reasons (low/poor grades on test, quiz, and/or homework, non-
participative/engagement, not turning in assignments, incomplete assignments, failed
tests/quizzes, not logged in online course, not logged in Pearson Lab, poor attendance,
excessive absences, excessive tardiness, excessive leave early, etc.) ( Student will receive
communication email on this alert )
Applause alert : Throughout the entire semester to relay positive feedback ( Student will receive
communication email on this alert )
th Midterm alert : An automated alert at midterm (7 week or so) for students who are below a “C”
( Student will receive communication email on this alert )
Refer to Tutoring/Academic Coaching : (Student will not see this alert)
Refer to Disability Support Services : (Student will not see this alert)
Temporary Limitation/Pregnancy/Medical WD : (Student will not see this alert)
Student consult alert : Throughout the entire semester as a top priority to address a high
concern issue that is not related to current alerts above, but such as personal (transportation,
housing, child care, employment conflict etc.), financial, and/or etc. No classroom management
or behavioral, tutoring, disability issues here. (Student will not see this alert)
For best results, alerts should not be raised on students with whom you have already spoken to
or emailed and discussed their non-attendance or academic performance (tardiness,
absenteeism, missing/late assignments, etc.). Also, if you have already alerted the student and
resolved the issue, remember to clear the alert by noting that the instructor spoke to student
after the alert was raised.
2 . Copy/Paste : When using this feature to raise an alert for more than one student, please
review so you are not using the wrong student’s name or sending wrong information as well.
Make sure the right student is receiving the correct information. If you ar sending one alert to
mutiple students, please do not state any student's name.
3 . Let’s keep it simple, detailed, and personalized for each student note : Advisors read and
respond to alerts that are personalized and show that you care and have as much detail
information as needed.
Example 1: Rachel, I am concerned about your attendance, you have missed the last 4 classes, and
I have not heard from you. Are you alright?
Example 2: Student is struggling with fraction and linear equations and has general math
confidence challenges. Student can pass the class if assignments 1 and 3 are submitted within two
weeks.
Example 3: Student recently submitted a Compare & Contrast final draft that was off topic, missing
important elements including MLA format, and did not resemble the two sample essays I provided.
Example 4: Student did not submit his Narrative/Descriptive essay on time a month ago, and I had
to email Student so Student could do so.
Example 5 : I do not think the student is reading instructions, Student is not attending the optional
ZOOM lessons. Student is not submitting first essay drafts for my feedback, and I do not think
student is reading the material and watching the recordings in the modules. I had expressed my
concern about all of this and student replied in email that student would do a better job in future.
This has not been occurring based on the last C & C essay he submitted.
Example 6: I am concerned that Student will not pass the course unless student begins to study
and participate more responsibly.
*Please be aware of notes being sent. Even though students will not see the notes you send, we
want to ensure professional/confidential guidelines with FERPA. These notes will be a part of our
students’ educational records.
To avoid under and/or over-reporting of alerts, the following timetable should be used :
Week 1 and/or 2 – Non-Attendance Alert only
Week 3 and/or 5 – Academic Performance Alert only
*It is very important that you still report nonattendance in BannerWeb for third week reporting
purposes .
Week 7 – Automated Midterm Alert (when you enter “D” or “F” grade in BannerWeb it will
automatically get pulled from A3)
Week 10 – Academic Performance Alert – Last Warning…this is the last week to withdraw from a
course with a “W” or improve progress to success in course.
